Rapper-singer Doja Cat became the talk of the internet with her recent Paris Fashion Week appearance for haute couture house Schiaparelli's showcasing.
The 27-year-old was decked out in an all-red ensemble with over 30,000 hand-applied Swarovski crystals. Although this might sound like a feast for the eyes, netizens trolled the singer relentlessly and claimed that it triggered their trypophobia, which refers to disgust or fear of a pattern of holes.
The entire runway presentation for the Schiaparelli show was inspired by Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. Representing the same theme, the Woman singer wore a strapless red evening gown and also covered her entire face and body with crimson crystals.
It was reported that beauty and makeup legend Pat McGrath took nearly five hours to create Doja Cat’s red embellished look. While celebrating the look on Instagram, McGrath called it a “magical, mesmerizing masterpiece.”
Meaning of trypophobia explained as netizens call out Doja Cat for triggering anxiety disorder
According to Cleveland Clinic, trypophobia is a type of anxiety disorder where one is repulsed from objects that have repetitive clusters of small holes similar to that of a sponge or honeycomb. Those who experience the same are often disgusted by such patterns of holes. However, they are not necessarily fearful of them.
It has been reported that 17% of adults and children experience the disorder to varied lengths. They can often be triggered by fruits with small seeds like strawberries, kiwis, insects and bees, skin on snakes, frogs and other reptiles, the soles of a shoe, cheese with holes, bread or bagel with seeds, etc.
A few symptoms of experiencing typophobia include chills, dry mouth, pale skin, nausea, profuse sweating, and nausea, among others. Several netizens took to social media to call out Doja Cat for her outfit by claiming that the repetitive red patterns throughout her outfit could be triggering for those who experience trypophobia. A few reactions read:
Aside from accusing Doja Cat of triggering anxiety disorders in people, many conspired that she was being controlled by the Illuminati due to her wearing a peculiar outfit. However, this is not the first time Doja Cat has been accused of being part of the elite secret society.
Playing into the conspiracy theory, the Kiss Me More singer celebrated her 27th birthday with an Illuminati-themed party as well. A few comments surrounding her recent jaw-dropping outfit read:
